He decides to take a space walk during the descent, and Clarke establishes that she has heard of his previous misdemeanors, meaning his spacewalking while on the Ark, the reason he was arrested. Though she appears to have a bit of a hostile and guarded attitude toward him during this exchange, when they hit turbulence, she worriedly asks if he's alright. Later, on Earth, he calls her Princess and questions her about the map she is looking at. She tells him that they were dropped in the wrong place. They decide to go on a mission together to Mount Weather to go get supplies. However, they never make it there because Jasper is attacked and kidnapped by a Grounder.

In Earth Skills, Finn helps Clarke search for Jasper, and later helps her and the other Delinquents bring him back to camp. He also shares his food with Clarke later that night.

In His Sister's Keeper, Raven finds out about Clarke's relationship with Finn and is less than pleased. Finn is stabbed by a Grounder with a knife (Later on, the blade of the knife is revealed to have had poison on it). Clarke is shown to be very upset and rushes to help him.

In Reapercussions, Finn notices that a one-eyed Grounder is wearing the watch that Clarke's dad gave her as a necklace. He aids the other Delinquents in kidnapping and interrogating the Grounder. He takes a dark path as he gets desperate to find Clarke, and he punches the Grounder repeatedly for information and threatens to shoot him. Later on, even though the Grounder gives the Delinquents the information they need about Clarke and the other Delinquents, Finn kills him in order to end a dispute between Bellamy and Murphy.

In Many Happy Returns, Finn's "dark path" continues as he gets more and more desperate to find Clarke. At one point, he was even willing to let Mel hang off of an edge of a cliff, and most likely die due to her being exhausted and having trouble holding on, in order to find Clarke.
